Keywords:
higher education, international ranking, QS, THE, international cooperation, indicator, strategy.Abstract
This article highlights the need to develop international cooperation indicators to enhance the participation of Uzbek higher education institutions (HEIs) in international rankings (in particular, QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education). The study analyzed international cooperation indicators based on international rating methodologies, existing HEI practices, and best foreign practices. The analysis shows that the high ranking of HEIs in international rankings is directly related to their indicators such as international academic cooperation, scientific projects, and the share of foreign professors and students. The article proposes strategic approaches, digital monitoring systems, and sustainable financial mechanisms for HEIs to develop international cooperation.
